A cold and quite long day

When we woke up this morning, the cabin temperature was 4C! So we started not only the coffee machine, like we do every morning (it gets loaded up with ground coffee and water before I go to bed), but also the heater. So the boat warmed up whilst we had coffee in bed.

By 8:30 we were off. Along the Hollands Diep, the Amer, the Niewe Merwede, the Boven Merwede, through the Linge lock at Gorinchem and along the Merwedekanaal to Vianen, where we are tied up now. It was a trip of almost 7 hours. It's still cold and there are rainy spells too now. The heater is on, so it's very comfortable on board.

The plan is to go up Lek and Neder Rijn tomorrow and start going down the IJssel after that. We are doing a lot of 'varen', this trip!

Sorry, no pictures today, not a lot of spectacular things to see.
